METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LIMITING ACIDIC CORROSION AND CONTAMINATION IN FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEMS

A method and apparatus are provided for filtration of fuel contained in a storage tank, in which activation of a fuel dispensation pump concurrently activates a filtration system. In particular, a portion of pressurized fuel delivered by the dispensation pump is diverted to an eductor designed to create a vacuum by the venturi effect. This vacuum draws fluid from the bottom of the storage tank, at a point lower than the intake for the dispensation pump so that any water or particulate matter at the bottom of the storage tank is delivered to the eductor before it can reach the dispensation pump intake. The eductor delivers a mix of the diverted fuel and the tank-bottom fluid to a filter, where any entrained particulate matter or water is filtered out and removed from the product stream. Clean, filtered fuel is then delivered back to the storage tank. 提供了一种用于对容纳在储存罐中的燃料进行过滤的方法和设备，其中，燃料分配泵的启动同时启动过滤系统。特别地，由分配泵输送的已加压的燃料的一部分被转移至设计成通过文丘里效应产生真空的喷射器。该真空从储存罐的底部在比用于分配泵的进入部低的位置处抽吸流体，使得位于储存罐的底部处的任何水或颗粒物质在其可能到达分配泵进入部之前被输送至
